London, Nicholson and Watson, 1938. First edition, first impression. Hardback. A very good copy. Inscribed by the author to his son, writer Julian Gloag. Collects 37 short pieces, mostly published earlier in papers. With Julian's plate to the front pastedown. Jacket spine faded, with some small chips here and there, some markings to the endpaper near the signature - probably a plate removal. A little foxing. [11309, Hyraxia Books].
